The incoming full-time Berkeley MBA class of 2006 strengthened
its team-building skills in a ropes course, which helps
new students break the ice and build trust, as part
of their week-long orientation last August. They also
heard from executives, including Phillip Marineau, president
and CEO of Levi Strauss & Co.; Gary Erickson, founder
and former CEO of Clif Bar; and entrepreneur André
Marquis, MBA 96, COO of Chorus.
